VIVIANA ZARBO SINGS MARILYN: A GIRL’S BEST FRIEND

Andy Warhol's paintings, JFK's birthday song, NYC subway grating
up skirt… The list goes on. Marilyn's icon was a blend of innocence
and feminine sexuality. Despite her "bombshell" fame, Marilyn
contributed to set the standards of the jazz and swing golden age
in the 1940s/1950s.

57 years after her death, jazz singer and actress,
Viviana Zarbo, who has had a lifelong fascination
with the star, reinterprets her songs and the masterpieces composed
by geniuses like Cole Porter and Irving Berlin, in a personal way
and devoid of clichés. Zarbo intertwines tales about Marilyn's life
along with her own and recounts how her career was shaped through
Marilyn's songs.

This is an evening of music and celebration, with
Christian Vaughan on piano and the world-renowned
alto saxophonist, Tony Kofi, as a special
guest.

be heard" - Jazz FM

Guardian
